The European Union has approved a procedure for the seizure of income from Russian assets in favor of Ukraine

February 12 2024 12

The Council of the European Union published a statement announcing the adoption of a resolution making it possible to use profits from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine.

According to the decision, European depositories that own Russian assets worth more than 1 million euros must keep the income from these investments in separate accounts and keep special records of them.

The Council of the EU decided to decide on the possible establishment of a financial contribution to the EU budget, collected from this net profit, to support Ukraine, as well as for its recovery and reconstruction at a later stage

- said in a statement.

However, some Western policy are not happy with this decision, considering it too lenient. Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the EU must be more decisive in using frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. The politician said that this source of funds can no longer be ignored, and he called the fear of possible refusal of other countries from deposits in euros exaggerated.

Please note that we are talking about very significant amounts. The assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the Belgian depository Euroclear brought in 2023 billion euros of income in 4,4. This year this amount may exceed 5 billion euros. Washington insists on the complete confiscation of frozen Russian funds, but the European Union rightly believes that such a step could lead to many other countries abandoning euro assets.

Well, that means it’s time for the Russian Federation to use profits from the property of NATO countries and their citizens located in the Russian Federation for the needs of Russian settlements and enterprises affected by Bandera’s Ukraine

It’s time for us to use all the assets within the country that belong to the suppliers of the Ukrainian Reich, I think it will be even more profitable than that of the Amers

There is no need to even talk about the assets of countries that supply weapons to ukrov.
But Russia has an external debt. About 300 yards.
So maybe stop paying it? At least to the above mentioned countries...

In the process, this is only the beginning of sponsoring Kyiv with Russian money. Ultimately, all 300 billion will be spent, and I strongly doubt that the Russian Federation has at least a tenth of Western assets equivalent to this amount. This money will be enough for the war years with minimal spending by the united West.
